Robert Declan,
I have been in Dad’s hospital room staring at him over an hour, these past few days have been so hard on me, my issues with Rose coupled with the fact that she may not be pregnant with my child,
Everything has worn me out, I went into depression and started thinking about a whole lot of things and I came to realization that I’ve not been caring about my father, cause I was too occupied with Rose. I suddenly forgot I had a father who cared and loved me so much
I forgot that my father who sacrificed everything for me to have a good life is in the hospital fighting for his life. I don’t know why but I feel so ashamed of myself,
I abandoned my father here for months, I left everything in the hands of mum, forgetting she won’t be happy seeing dad like this every day, the worst is that I forgot I was the CEO of a company and all of that was because of my foolish and selfishness
I watch as my Dad breath using the oxygen, he has been like this for months,
I didn’t know tears were already trickling down my eyes, till I felt wetness on my cheeks
I took my father’s palm and caress it slowly
“I’m sorry for neglecting you dad, sorry for not being the son you’ve always wanted, I promise from now on that you and mum will come first in my life, Dad please I need you to wake up my life is so kicking messed up, I don’t even know the woman I once love anymore….. these days she behaves strangely and she’s starting to make me question my intelligence, Dad please wake up” I cried….. letting out all my emotions
I was still in tears when I felt a touch on my shoulders, I look up and was surprised to see the Doctor
“Doctor….” I called wiping my tears, he nodded his head at me and pulled me up
“Come with me” He smiled,
“Doctor, is my father ever going to wake up?”
“He will just come with me, I need to discuss something with you”
“Alright…” I nodded, taking one last glance at my dad, I followed the doctor
We left my dad’s hospital room and walk straight into the doctor’s office
“You may sit” He pointed toward the visitor’s seat for me
“Thanks” I muttered and sat down
“Mr. Robert I must be honest with you, your dad’s case seems mysterious”
“What do you mean Doctor?” I asked readjusting on my seat
” The normal cases we have had for years in fact with my experience as a doctor your father should have woken up months ago, but it seems like something is stopping him from doing so”
“Doctor I don’t understand, what are you trying to say”
“What I’m saying is that someone does not want your father to wake up”
“And by that you mean?”
“Today I got worried about your dad and decided to carry out a text on him, and know if the drugs he has been taking is the one I prescribed but something was off”
“What’s that”
“I found out that someone has been injecting him with overdoses of morphine”
“Doctor what do you mean by morphine, what’s that?”
“Overdose of morphine can make someone go into a coma, and a system where someone in a coma is been injecting with an overdose of morphine that’s very dangerous and someone can go from coma to death as a result of that”
“Doctor I personally have security guarding my father’s hospital room so how can someone pass the security”
“That’s the issue Mr. Robert, that is where the whole thing gets complicated”
“And what if the person is disguising as a nurse or doctor” We heard a voice and turned to see Jericho at the door
“Jericho….?”
“Sorry for coming late” He smile and sat beside me,
“Who is he?” The doctor asks looking at Jericho before returning his gaze at me
”Don’t worry doctor he’s my best friend”
“But we’re discussing a private matter that only a close family member should listen to”
“He’s like a family to me”
“Yes doctor I’ve sorry for eavesdropping on you guys but like my friend said earlier we are like family and I would like to catch the mothetfucker behind those treacherous act
“Alright gentlemen I would suggest we move Mr. Declan to another room probably with a right security this time and only I can get into his room and administer his medication, we will instruct the guards that anybody apart from him should not enter his room”
“And Doctor anybody apart from Robert or his mum should not enter his room too” Jericho added, making my head snap towards him
“And my wife?”
“We will talk about it later” Jericho cooled
“But…..”
“Mr . Robert I think your friend is right in this situation you never can tell who’s your enemy”
“Alright doctor, please he should be moved immediately”
“Sure ” The doctor smiled,
“Nice talking with you,” I said shooting his hand,
“It’s my pleasure” He smiled,
We left the doctor’s office and none of us said anything to each other, we were about to enter my father’s hospital room when I saw a strange guy with a doctor’s uniform coming out from there, never knew Jericho saw him too
“Isn’t he strange?” Jericho whispered into my ear…
“I was thinking so too”
“Quick let’s follow him” Jericho urged, and slowly we started trailing him, suddenly it seems he noticed we were following him, he increased his steps and we increased ours too,
The next minute, he started running we ran after him too but guess he was last enough to enter the elevator, we enter another elevator but by the time we came out
We didn’t see him
“What this…?” Jericho pointed at the clothes laying by the corner, we walked closer and picked it up. It turned out to be the doctor’s uniform the guy was wearing a few seconds ago…..
“Bastard….” Jericho gritted out punching the wall
